Noise, part 1

The SD890 IS displays Canon's trademark noise-suppression profile: there's practically no color noise, just color smearing at the highest ISOs where the blurring gets intense. For very detailed shots, I wouldn't shoot above ISO 200 because of the camera's slightly soft images. You can start to see detail degradation at ISO 400.
